What is the current solution to an RC circuit?
 
To be honest I have no idea what your asking
 
Anyone?
 
Use KVL and solve the differential equation. Either that or look it up. Since this is the homework forum I can't just give you the answer...

We also need to see an attempt, if you have no idea what I'm talking about then you probably shouldn't be asking that question here.
